A simple, logical user interface and attractive images motivate even younger children to work independently. All questions are read aloud, allowing children who cannot read to use he App. For reading practice, the sound can be turned off.
All the exercises consist of a series of questions to which the answer must be found. To play, the question card must be dragged onto the right answer image.
The levels A and B are working exclusively with images - both the questions and the answers are illustrated.
In levels C, D, E and F the questions are read aloud (and shown as text). The answers are images.
Each level contains five question and answer games. Solved tasks are marked, in order to track learning progress.
Try Lexico - Cognition with the free level E. All other levels can be unlocked through an in-App purchase.

Needs an edit option
AnneMarie38
Too many pictures are low quality or too busy. I would like to be able to edit the pictures. The pictures keep me from really being able to use this expensive app with my kids in therapy.
An app for SLPs!!

Fantastic!! This App targets so many different concepts and is a steal at 10 bucks compared to what you'd spend buying materials through a catalog! Will be great for my EL kiddos too! Thank you!!
Very Disappointed

I am so disappointed. I have been using the free version of this for a little while, but the $10 price tag was rather steep. I finally went ahead and bought the full version, but feel completely swindled. Level E (free version) is not at all indicative of the paid levels. Many of the levels have very poor quality drawings that are difficult to interpret. And, many of the drawings and pictures are not appropriate for using with children. No need to have pictures of naked children, Elvis in the women's lingerie department, men dancing with inflatable dolls or pictures of beer cans. Additionally, the pictures that you have chosen are amazingly lacking in cultural diversity. As a teacher I often recommend apps to parents, but I will only recommend the free version of this app. I wish I could get my money back.
Has great potential

Level E is a great start, as for the mention of objectionable images in the paid levels brings on some concern. I would love to see a settings feature that permited users to remove the text prompt or in other words - no written sentence and match images based on the audio command only.
Confused

I got the free version, but I can't get it to work. It gives the directions, and I touch the correct picture, and then nothing. Am I missing something? It looks like it would be a really good app if it worked.
Seems to have some good possibilities

To respond to the previous review, it confused me for a minute too. You drag the direction square over to the one that it describes, and it will reveal the square. A picture is shown when it is done. Haven't bought the unlock yet, but I think I may do it. It looks like something that would be good for my speech/language students to do independently.
Pictures are terrible
AnneMarie38
I liked the free version so I bought the other levels....OMG kids at school can't identify the scribbles that are supposed to be pictures. Even the colored pictures are bad. One student called the picture of a boys knee with a band aid a "tree". For the price the pictures should be immaculate. Please upgrade that! Oh and...what kid knows who Elvis is?
Awful graphics
SoTony
I purchased the add ons and was extremely disappointed with the poor quality of the pictures. Also, for many children, the field is just too large, you should be able to customize how many items the child can see at one time.
Thought there were possibilities
*SLP*
The idea behind this app has great possibilities, but there are several significant issues. The graphics for the blackline drawings are so poor the pictures are frequently unrecognizable. Also, was it really necessary to use photos of naked children in the Verbs section? With those pictures in the app I cannot even consider using the app with my speech therapy students. I truly regret that I paid for the full version of the app. Please fix these issues!
Good App

I don't agree with one of the previous reviews. I think most of the pictures are really great. Some of the the black and white illustrations are quite challenging and sometimes ambiguous. But the kids didn't mind and we had some interesting discussions about those. I believe you should preview the levels before buying the full version, and judge for yourself.
